The Bund, located on the Huangpu River in the downtown area of Shanghai, is a scenic spot in Shanghai and a must-see place for tourists visiting Shanghai. The Bund, also known as Zhongshan East 1st Road, is about 1.5 km long. There are 52 buildings with different styles, such as Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque and Chinese and Western styles, in the east of Huangpu River, which is called "World Architecture Expo Group".

Huangpu River is the largest river flowing through Shanghai, and its source is located in Longwangshan Nature Reserve in Anji, Zhejiang. Because the Huangpu River connects the rivers and seas, there are two obvious high tides and low tides every day on average. The water level difference in a day can reach more than 4 meters. In case of astronomical tide, the water level difference is even greater.
One hundred and fifty years ago, Shanghai was only a medium-sized county along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River, and the shipping industry was very underdeveloped. People don't need and can't build dikes along the river, so most of the banks are natural beaches except Huangpu River at the east gate. At low tide, the river stagnated in the center of the river bed, revealing a large beach. At high tide, the river didn't cross the beach. Huangpu River is the main river in Shanghai. Because the river is wide and the current is fast, ships sailing against the current must walk with fibers. For hundreds of years, the footsteps of trackers have trodden a tortuous path on the beach of Huangpu River, which is called the "fiber path", and this fiber path is the earliest road on the Bund. In the customary words of place names in Shanghai, the upper reaches of the river are generally called "Li" and the lower reaches of the river are called "Wai". For example, Shanghainese are used to calling Hanyang Bridge in Hongkou Port "Li Hongqiao", Changzhi Bridge "Zhonghongqiao" and Daming Bridge "Waihongqiao", all of which are named according to the location of the river where the bridge is located.
Similarly, the first bridge where Suzhou River flows into Huangpu River today is called Waibaidu Bridge, followed by Libaidu Bridge (now Zhapu Bridge) and Sanbaidu Bridge (now Sichuan Bridge). If the county seat is taken as the basis, the place close to the city is called "Li" and the place far from the city is called "Wai", which is the "hanging street in Li county" and "hanging street in other counties" in downtown today; "Li Cang Qiao" and "Outer Cang Qiao" got their names.
The Huangpu River near the county seat of Shanghai forms a sharp bend at the exit of Lujiabang, so Shanghainese take Lujiabang as the boundary, and its upstream is called "Lihuangpu" and its downstream is called "Waihuangpu". The beach in Lihuangpu is referred to as "Lihuangpu Beach" and the beach in Waihuangpu is referred to as "Waihuangpu Beach".
